The museum regularly hosts exhibitions that showcase various aspects of fashion, including thematic, contemporary and historical designs. In addition to rotating exhibitions, the museum has a permanent collection of more that 50,000 garments and accessories dating from the 18th century to the present.

Here is what caught my eye; I hope you enjoy!
